  • Patent number: 9504200
    Abstract: A rechopper for chopped crop includes first and second rollers having axially parallel rotational axes, peripheral surfaces disposed opposite one another delimiting a comminution gap and truncated-cone shaped sections. The truncated cone-shaped sections have a base surface (G, G?), a top surface (D, D?) and peripheral surfaces extending at a slant relative to the rotational axis of the respective roller. The base surface (G, G?) and the top surface (D; D;) disposed on the first roller and the second roller have diameters that vary in an alternating manner as viewed in an axial direction (R).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9420743
    Abstract: A harvesting machine for picking up crop includes a container with a closable filler neck used to accommodate a fluid that is fed by at least one supply system to crop picked up by the harvesting machine. The container has at least one further, closable opening, through which at least one additional container is inserted into the container. The additional container is fillable with a fluid and has contents that can be mixed with the fluid present in the container.

  • Patent number: 8701376
    Abstract: A conditioning device for an agricultural harvesting machine includes a first and a second roller that each are supported with respect to a housing to enable the rollers to rotate about respective longitudinal axes in order to delimit a gap through which crop passes. The housing is formed with a first and a second housing section such that the second housing section moves relative to the first housing section from a closed position in which the housing seals the rollers with respect to the surroundings into a closed position in which the rollers are accessible from outside the housing. The rollers are each supported with respect to the first housing section by way of a shaft extending between the first and the second housing sections.
